UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE • Don't let the simplicity and minimalist elegance of Cub Camper's H16 fool you – this is a dingo in sheep's clothing which will take you down the toughest offroad tracks that would be out of bounds for the big boys. The H16 was judged the Equal Overall Winner of Australia's Best Hybrids 2024.

EXODUS FROM THE ORDINARY • With a mass departure from traditional hybrid van construction methods and fit out, Complete Campsite wowed the judges with the Exodus 18 which sets the bar extremely high and is the Equal Overall Winner of Australia's Best Hybrids 2024.

X MARKS THE SPOT • Bluewater's Xtraveller might have been the least expensive hybrid at Australia's Best Hybrids 2024, but it had a number of smart innovations that made it stand out from the crowd.

CHILL OUT • It might be small, but the Arctic Frost 13 was one of the coolest hybrids in this year's competition and punches above its weight in fit out and features.

FANTASTIC FANTASY • The Fantasy FD-15A offers some improvements on previous iterations, but we discovered its point of difference is allowing customers to use their imaginations by offering unlimited design options.

OUT OF THIS WORLD • With a king size bed, bunks, internal bathroom plus inside and outside kitchens, this 15ft hybrid from Mars has everything a family will need to enjoy camping adventures.

PRIMED UP • This heavy-duty hybrid from Prime Campers sports a high-tech electrical system, sleeping capacity for six people as well as many other features that will make this a family favourite.

ONE FOR THE KIDS • With triple bunks, plenty of outdoor living space and room for all the camping toys, the Signature Rugrat X has been designed for families and is likely to appeal more to the kids than the parents.

JOLLY SWAG • Leading the way for imported hybrids offerings frameless composite construction, the Gen 6 SCT16 boasts a swag of features that will appeal to buyers who like their creature comforts.
